1 Timotheo 1
1 An Paulo jaote Kristo Yesu kaluwore gi Chik Nyasaye ma Jawarwa, kod Kristo Yesu, ma en genowa,
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
2 Andikoni in Timotheo wuoda mar adier kuom yie: Ngʼwono gi kech kod kwe moa kuom Nyasaye Wuoro gi Kristo Yesu Ruodhwa obed kodu.
to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Kaka ne anyisi mondo itim kane an e wuodha madhiyo Makedonia, adwaro mondo imed bedo Efeso nikech jomoko ni kuno mapuonjo ji puonj mag miriambo manyaka ikwergi mondo giwe timo kamano.
As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
4 Bende giwe keto chunygi e sigendini manono gi sigendini mag nonro mag anywola ma ok rum. Gik ma kamagi medo mana mbaka makelo miero kar gero tich Nyasaye, ma gerore kuom yie.
and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.
5 To wach maduongʼ mar Chikni en hera mawuok e chuny maler kendo maonge bura kod yie mar adier.
But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
6 Jomoko osebaro oweyo magi mi gidonjo e mbekni mag oyuma maonge tiendgi.
from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,
7 Gigombo mondo gibed jopuonj Chik to gikia tiend gik ma giwacho kata gik ma giwuoyo kuomgi.
desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.
8 Wangʼeyo ni chik ber mana ka ngʼato konyore kode e yo mowinjore.
But we know that the law is good if a person uses it lawfully,
9 Wangʼeyo bende ni chik ok oket ni joma kare, to okete ni joketh chik gi jonjore; gi joma okia Nyasaye, kod joricho, gi joma timbegi ochido, kod joma odagi lemo; bende ni joma nego wuonegi kata minegi. Bende chikno oket ni jonek
as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 gi jochode, kod chwo ma terore gi chwo wetegi gi joma timo ohand wasumbini gi jo-miriambo, kod joma kwongʼore kariambo chutho mondo gigweny adiera. Adier chik oket ne gimoro amora makedo gi puonj mar adier.
for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,
11 Puonjno owinjore kod Injili man-gi duongʼ mar Nyasaye mogwedhi, mane oket e lweta.
according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
12 Agoyo erokamano ni Kristo Yesu Ruodhwa mosemiya teko nikech ne okwana kaka ja-adiera mi oyiera e tichne.
I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,
13 Kata obedo ni chon ne awuoyo marach kuom Nyasaye kendo ne asando joma oyie ka akwiny, to nokecha nikech natimo gigo kuom kia kendo kuom bedo maonge yie.
although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14 Ngʼwono mar Ruodhwa ne ool kuoma mogundho, kaachiel gi yie kod hera mayudore kuom Kristo Yesu.
The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 Wach mar adier mowinjore ji oyiego chuth en ni Kristo Yesu nobiro e piny mondo owar joricho, to an e jaricho marachie moloyo joricho duto.
The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
16 To kuom mano Yesu Kristo nokecha an mane an jaricho ewi joricho duto, mondo onyis ngʼwonone maduongʼ maonge giko kuoma. Nodwaro mondo abed ranyisi, ne joma biro yie kuome mondo oyud ngima mochwere. (aiōnios g166)
However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for consummate (aiōnios g166) life.
18 Timotheo wuoda, amiyi Chikni kaluwore gi weche mane okor kuomi chon. Ti kod chikni mondo iked lweny maber,
I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,
19 kisiko e yie motegno ka chunyi ok ngʼadni bura kaka jaketho. Jomoko osedagi winjo bura ma chunygi ngʼadonegi kuom gik maricho ma gitimo, omiyo koro yiegi osenimo.
holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,
20 Moko kuom jogo gin Humenayo gi Aleksanda, ma aseketo e lwet Satan mondo opuonjre ni kik giyany Nyasaye.
of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
